TheGoodGuys are advertising these qualtiy WD external storage for below market prices. Take it to OfficeWorks and they will beat it by another 5%. Excellent value!

Confirmed by Sooty, that not all TGG stores are using the same catelogues. It goes to show how this business model of independent franchises is a pain to consumers. Stick to OW to save the hassle.

As a result, OW is listing both drives at the exact price listed as TGG, below are the direct links:

    Good find Noslee.. they're getting cheaper and cheaper now..

    I also noticed that several retailers already increased their prices due to weakening AUD dollars (even OfficeWorks, from $177 last week and now is $186), so good to see that someone actually bring the price is down.

    Is this the one with Esata or Just USB?

    I couldn't see in the picture

    • elcheapo on 30/10/2008 - 12:43

      The "Essential" range is only USB2.

  • timhn on 30/10/2008 - 13:05

    Good deal but already mentioned here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/7432

    • jashjash on 30/10/2008 - 14:08

      still, the 1TB one isn't in that post.

  • AussieMark on 30/10/2008 - 13:22

    Ah thanks Elcheapo. I thought it would be

  • timbomb on 30/10/2008 - 13:27

    Good find. I was wanting to buy this one as opposed to the free agent at harris technology.

  • Noslee on 30/10/2008 - 14:16

    Be wary that some OfficeWorks stores have already adjusted their in-store checkout price to match $129 on the 320gb, it could mean no 5% extra discount if they are sharing the same database, my mate tried it in North Sydney store during lunch today.

    Long time fan of the site, never registered until now. Felt compelled to mention that while consumerism is great, so too is respecting a businesses attempt to offer great deals. To the poster of this offer, give the Good Guys a chance rather than seeing it as an opporunity to pull another 5% off by price matching with OfficeWorks. Before you ask, no, I don't work for either of these businesses. Just a regular consumer looking our for great (but fair) bargains. Well spotted though..!

    • Noslee on 31/10/2008 - 14:33

      We all want to support local businesses, however based on my personal experience with TGG. Letting an offer of over $6000+ purchase, what I got was a bagful of anger with their offer nowhere near JB-HiFi and Bing Lee. Wasting the effort of driving there, talking to sales, and ending up buying somewhere. Made me feel that I am a "not-so-smart" shopper to be there.

      At least with OfficeWorks, I know exactly what I am getting immediately / next day close to free delivery and guaranteed cheapest price + generally great service.

      • timhn on 31/10/2008 - 19:41

        Agree. Go and tell TGG to give the deal like OW - $122.55 and pay by CC without any surcharge fee ! If they don't offer any better, vote with your wallet.

      • McMerc on 01/11/2008 - 16:46

        agreed

  • Sooty on 31/10/2008 - 17:37

    It was almost $300/RRP at TG in Nanawading, according to my brother when he went to check today and didn't end up buying one.

    • tpp on 06/11/2008 - 18:22

      well.. it shouldn't be $300 according to their OCT Sale catalogue on page 11 it is $175 (Just go through the catalogue to print the pg out to show the shop + They should be able to match the same from other TGG shops as well) - Vaild till 9/Nov unless Sold out.

    Valid point there randallh. I've been planning on buying one of these and reckon now is a good time ;-)

  • POWERevolution on 02/11/2008 - 12:40

    Thanks for the post but I didn't get 5% price guarantee as OW already adjust the price @ $175

  • wubs on 03/11/2008 - 21:55

    Yeah its an insane price, these were $199 at OW a week or two ago and they have been dropped so much.

    Oh i work at OW and we get price match updates pretty much everyday.

  • Koonit on 05/11/2008 - 14:15

    First time poster here!

    Just got myself a nice 1TB My Book from the good guys, for $170. Which was below cost price, according to the sales person.

    I generally get more off when I buy expensive things, but this drive was already VERY reduced. I'm really happy with the drive.
